i would like to know if there are any shuttle services from kansai airport to Kobe Portopia Hotel (KOBE) ? Alternatively which rail line should i use to go to Kobe from kansai airport if I obtained the JR Kansai regional pass ?
Or alternatively you could take the train, JR Airport Rapid from Kansai airport to Osaka Station, then transfer to the JR Kobe Line to Sannomiya Station. Again you can take the hotel shuttle from this station.

There is a limousine bus service that goes from Kansai Airport to Kobe Sannomiya Station. This costs 1,950 yen one way. You can find the timetable here: http://www.kate.co.jp/en/timetable/detail/KB. From this station the hotel run a shuttle bus, you can find the timetable on there website: http://www.portopia.co.jp/en/access/bus.html.
